Roma and Milan legend Cafu has bemoaned Brazil’s humiliation at the hands of Germany on Tuesday evening.

The Selecao were embarrassed 7-1 in the World Cup semi-final last night, and the former full-back, who played 142 times for his country, has admitted that he tried to talk to the players in BeloHorizonte, but was denied access.

“I told him that I’m not a stranger and I wanted to say a few words to console the players.

“At the time they needed some encouragement, and that’s what I wanted to give them.
